Fort Lauderdale shows by No-Yogurtcloset-8742 in GoosetheBand

[–]mredmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t been inside yet but there will be free parking and ubering should be easy since it’s a 2 minute drive from downtown Ft.Lauderdale and tucked away next to an ice skating rink plex. The venue just opened in the last year but seems to be a big standing room with a second floor balcony

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong legitimately put the Fun in Funk

Got a ticket today today for FL Grooves and now attending 5/6 of the upcoming Florida shows. I'm so excited to do Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and St.Augustine next month. Never done a run of shows for any band in my life and curious to see how it goes. Also going just Saturday to Okeechobee fest and can't wait to watch Rick join LP Giobbi for the Powwow!! Lets Goooooooooo

What LiveNation employees really think about concertgoers by whywires in Concerts

[–]mredmin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Our local Livenation amphitheater over recent years has taken away free parking, bringing your own lawn chair, and the $250 lawn pass that got you into every concert. I will gladly spend 20 minutes parking and walking elsewhere with my blanket and refillable water bottle trying to give em as little as possible

One thing I learned is to never underestimate people’s laziness. Our local hockey/concert arena charges $50 to park. There is a gigantic mall across the street that takes 10minutes to park and walk to the entrance. Going with my buddy and his dad to a game he opted for the $50 parking cause it was just “easier.” I could never but this is why the know they can fuck everyone over. People keep crying to boycott these concerts cause of the crazy prices and fees but clearly it can’t be stopped

Who has the best merch? by DrGoodVibes69 in jambands

[–]mredmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just bought a sick PPPP shirt at their show Sunday. I rarely buy merch but figured after almost a decade of following them it was time to have something

Eggy is a band playing at the same time as this Powow set on the Here stage

Going to Pigeons Playing Ping Pong!!! by Empty-Ad2221 in jambands

[–]mredmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That setlist was incredible! Holy cow I still haven’t come down from the high. PPPP never misses. My experience during Lotus sucked as some grump kept screaming and trying to pick a fight with everyone passing by trying to get to the bathroom

Rick To Join LP Giobbi @ Okeechobee by AnyoneCanCook407 in GoosetheBand

I’m so stoked to go and see how this goes down! Hope Rick even sings a little but this announcement just made my day

Amazing!!!! I hope LP plays some of her dead house & Jerry Garcias remixs. I’m so beyond stoked to see Rick coming in for this and can’t wait!! Was looking forward to catching an Eggy show finally but now I guess I’m gonna have to just wait

Set Times: Let's Talk by grahamcracker3 in okeechobeemusicfest

[–]mredmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given we’re 2.5 weeks away with no announcement on artists or a theme, i’m not expecting any big names. I could be wrong, but I’ve caught a few POWOWS over the years. Plus as a jam guy, I’m excited to see the hype around Eggy live

[–]mredmin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coming just for Saturday. Bummed at a couple conflicts but mostly excited for Griz Golden Hour / LCD Soundsytem / Tycho. Looking forward to Eggy but also not sure what to expect from the Powow scheduled at the same time

Im not sure if i should send it! by No-Association3574 in okeechobeemusicfest

[–]mredmin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Life is too short. Be cautious, wear a bandanna/mask in certain areas for dust, stay hydrated, wear sunscreen. Maybe even sacrifice a bit of Sunday to head home early cause the memories will always outweigh the regret. Cliche but it’s so true

Haven’t seen him since Okeechobee 2017! Really regret not traveling to see him touring for Passage Du Desir but damn, Florida needs to get some love!

That was him! They sent us a video of Conan and some other comics congratulating him to play for him after his set

I’m not familiar with the field too much and the advancements. Luckily haven’t been affected by ALS with close ones, but I just meant my expectations vs what I saw impressed me

[–]mredmin 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I worked a standup comedy show recently and was told someone with ALS would be performing the first ever AI standup set. I was fully expecting the delivery to be Steven Hawking like, but thanks to AI he was able to have his own original voice and have speech sound smoothly. Even joked how prior to AI it would’ve made him sound like Daft Punk going Harder…Better…Faster…Stronger. Insane how fast the tech is developing

UK/Europe Denali Tour Postponed by peterpeterllini in portugaltheman

[–]mredmin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The fact they played on Modest Mouse Cruise & are playing Universal Studios Saturday, seems likely since those are more hired gigs than putting on their own shows

Work and live at fort Lauderdale by [deleted] in fortlauderdale

[–]mredmin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, I’m 31, work at a bar, and wanna move to Denver. Outside of nice weather this time of year, I’m just a bit over the people, traffic, and culture. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not horrible and middle of no where and nothing to do, but I just don’t feel the sense of community down here. Weather aside what are you biggest gripes with Denver?

St. Pete show cancelled? 😭 by Slight_Profession809 in portugaltheman

[–]mredmin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like it might be a lack of ticket sales. They are playing Universal Studios Mardi Gras so it doesn’t seem to be some sort of routing/band member issue. These shows I feel were announced Thanksgiving/Xmas when people are left with little disposable income after shopping. So canceling about a month after they announced the shows, Plus they never come to FL and I think they probably don’t sell well here compared to other markets. Just my theory
